- Craftsman 917.28934
I have a Craftsman lawn tractor (917.28934) that is 2 years 3 months old. Note the tractor is just 3 months out of warranty. The problem came about today (worked OK when I put it away a week ago). The problem is when backing the tractor up on a level surface it will move slowly. If backing up a slight (< 10 degrees) incline the tractor will not pull it self up the incline. Almost like a slipping clutch. In forward direction the tractor works fine. Lots of power and speed. I have checked all the linkages and cleaned the case to be sure there is nothing interfering with the linkage movement. This mower has 30.1 hours of operating time mowing a medium lawn. No hauling, snow blowing or other hard work on the tractor. The inclines are when backing around trees etc. Mostly flat yard.
Tractor Specs:
22Hp Kohler engine SV620
42" Mower

Any suggestion are really appreciated.
Thank you
